About Torphin
Torphin is an almost entirely non-residential area in the south-west of Edinburgh, Scotland. It lies just south of Juniper Green, on the opposite side of the Water of Leith, and sits both east and west of the Edinburgh City Bypass. The west side is largely rural, sporting a small number of mid-20th Century bungalows and one of Edinburgh’s many golf courses.
